So what do you think?
ok, i will go first.
relaxation on the release of political films and books. recently, the law has been amended and the government is now more relaxed about political films. it is a good step, but i think more can be done, and the public is now more ready to judge these books and films, and the internet will bring these to the people anyway.
your turn.
-
Vote opposition into parliament.
-
last i remembered, we were talking about some people getting jailed for contempt of court, and which of the laws is unjust. I stated one, since you asked me, and fully expected you to state one since i also asked you.
-
I gave a link and I agree with it that the laws in it are unjust.

good, at least you say that.
I thought you will not just take everything some guy said wholesale, and will have a slightly varying view on it.
i help you post here than.
1. The five person protest law
This law requires a permit for a gathering of 5 or more in public. This is a law in direct conflict with the Constitution. The constitution guarantees you freedom of assembly. Constitutional law states any other law or statute that is direct conflict with the constitution is illegal and should be struck unless compelling reasons can be shown. A peaceful protest can in no way raise any compelling interest to overcome the constitution. Therefore the law reacquiring permits for protests is clearly illegal. Break this law.
2. Public speaking
This law requires a permit to make a public speech. Same analysis as for above protest law being in direct violation of the constitutional provision guaranteeing free speech. Break this law.
3. Gazetting government offices as being off limits to protesters
Recently this government in order to stop any protests have come with a new gimmick, which is, declare all government offices as off limits by a method called gazetting. Plain and simple rubbish. No can do; if I had no English! Government offices are the very places where protesters would want to hold them, since they are the offending parties. This again is a clear restriction and limitation of your constitutional right to free speech and assembly. Break this law.
4. Societies requiring registration
Singapore laws require societies to be registered. Clearly this is a law to keep an eye and monitor all opposition political activities. This again is a clear violation of the speech and assembly clauses in the Constitution. Here again there is no compelling interest to have these laws in place except for keeping Singaporeans forever enslaved. No basis in law for this at all. Break this law.
5. Films Act
Political or in fact any film needs to be licenced. The height of misuse of the law that can ever be imagined. Not just obscene films, but just every single film requires censorship! Please go to the SDP website, http://www.yoursdp.org/ and see for yourself. Yesterday, the MDA and police entered a private viewing of a film "One nation under Lee", at Peninsula Hotel entered the premises and forcibly confiscated the film, thereby making a nuisance of themselves once again. No doubt those present did not want to waste any time with these goons and handed them the DVD. Immediately thereafter, of course, they pulled out another copy of it and watched the movie, no doubt!
In fact you can watch it below at the link. It is ironical that each time the government behaves in such mind boggling logic that will defy even Humpty Dumpty himself, the exact reverse happens. In fact after they confiscated it, the entire country's interest has been aroused and 10 times more people around the world have now watched it. Is the government now planning further arrests for having watched a movie critical of Lee Kuan Yew.
Break this law.
But please watch the movie, One Nation Under Lee by clicking the link below. A well made and highly instructive movie. -

This John Tan fella is my frens uncle,
She tells me the family's been really pissed with him. Say he tried migrating to the states or sumthing last time. Now he's broke, his wife has to pay the fine
IMO, you want to be a dissident, fine (personally the world could end and I'd give a wide smile) but like, at the expense of your family? i mean CSJ's wife and kids support him, so fine, but I think this guy's gone too far

It is so apparent that you are lying.

This is what a despot run country looks like. You go to jail for wearing a T-shirt.

hahahahaha... I rather starve to death, they can enjoy their wealth... just be careful of the curses.

It is not only that you cannot prove it. What you said does not make sense, just that you do not know it.

Well, I never really bothered about all her ramblings, but hell from what I hear, that's the impression I get.
She say they all not happy with the guy, I think that's wrong, that he thinks he's a big hero, blah blah blah. But his family end up suffering, I think that's wrong plain and simple. There, more logical now???? if it seemed to not make sense the previous time then fine
